Chapter 43: An Opportunity Tonight

Boom!

At noon.

After lunch, Luo Qingzhou went out and went to the bamboo forest in Moonlight Rain Court to practice his boxing.

He first practiced the Thunder Fist twice.

When his entire body heated up and his muscles trembled slightly, he gathered his strength and continued to hit the tree trunk fiercely.

The tree shook violently, and its bare branches rustled.

Luo Qingzhou raised his fist and punched the tree trunk a few more times.

Then, he kicked continuously.

His skin was indeed as tough as copper. Not only did it erupt with powerful strength, but it also had a very strong resistance to attacks.

Even though he used all his strength in his punches, he only felt a slight numbness in his body. The counterattack force was blocked by the tough skin. He could no longer feel any pain in his flesh and bones.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Luo Qingzhou punched the hard tree trunk a few more times with all his might.

The remaining bark was shattered into pieces, and the wood inside cracked and caved in. Suddenly, there was a loud crack! The tree tilted down. The trunk that he had hit almost broke!

However, his fist was unscathed!

If these punches landed on an ordinary person’s body, their bones would shatter and their flesh would be mangled.

If the punch hit one’s heart or head, that person would die on the spot!

And now, he had only refined his skin.

If he refined his flesh, tendons, and bones, how terrifying would his strength

The strength of a martial artist was indeed beyond an ordinary person’s imagination.

He had to work harder!

Boom!

He assumed a stance and continued to practice Thunder Fist.

After mastering Thunder Fist, he would continue refining his flesh.

He had already become a true martial artist. Although he was just a beginner, he ought to master at least one martial technique.

Otherwise, he could only throw out random punches and kicks in battles.

It was fine if he was dealing with ordinary people, but if he encountered martial artists, his way of fighting would be full of loopholes.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Luo Qingzhou strode forward and punched. His speed went from slow to fast. His movements were like the wind, and his punches were like thunder!

The green bamboo around him began to sway, and the bamboo leaves on the ground rustled. With his body as the center, they began to spin and dance around him.

A stream of air that was difficult to see with the naked eye rose around him and turned into a strong wind. It enveloped his fists as he struck out with his punches and rumbled!

His footwork and punches became increasingly fast. His punching strength kept increasing, and his might became stronger and stronger!

Boom!

He threw a few more punches, and a thunderous sound was heard!

Although its power could not be seen, it sounded imposing.

Some martial artists who did not know about the Thunder Fist would probably be intimidated if they saw it, let alone ordinary people.

Luo Qingzhou practiced the Thunder Fist three times in a row. When he was done, his body was drenched in sweat and his muscles were slightly sore.

However, he was still excited and not tired yet.

And his body could still hold on.

He paused for a moment before starting the next round.

When the sun had set and its golden rays filled the sky, Luo Qingzhou’s clothes were completely soaked with perspiration, and droplets of sweat dribbled down his back.

Cultivating the Thunder Fist did not seem to be as fierce and arduous as tempering the skin. He did not have to constantly collide with tree trunks, and his skin and flesh would not be injured. However, it was more tiring and difficult.

After a few sets of that, his muscles ached and his stamina was exhausted very quickly.

Of course, the effect was obvious.

The power of his punch was getting stronger and stronger. Not only was there wind around him when he threw out punches but there was also the faint sound of thunder. It looked quite cool.

As for its true power… it still needed to be tested.

After leaving the bamboo forest, Luo Qingzhou washed up in the warm lake and returned to the small courtyard.

Xiao Die had already returned with the food, but she looked a little unhappy.

Luo Qingzhou frowned when he heard that. He glanced at the food piled up on the stone table and could not help but smile bitterly. “This is indeed a little too much. Logically speaking, with our appetites, we won’t be able to finish so much food.

After pondering for a moment, he suggested, “How about this? In the future, you won’t need to get lunch, but you get more food at night. Anyway, I don’t want to waste time coming back for lunch. Also, don’t they have snacks and fruits? We should be able to take as many as we want for those, right? You can take more of those. After all, meat is too expensive. We can’t possibly take a few people’s portions every day just for the two of us.”

“Young Master, but you…

Luo Qingzhou cut in, “It’s fine. I can’t eat so much meat for the time being. I just need to eat more snacks, fruits, and vegetables.”

He had finished refining the skin now, but he had yet to refine the flesh. When he was refining flesh, that was when he needed to eat more meat.

At that time, he would think of a way to get more meat.

Martial artists consumed too many resources.

Even the Qin family would find it difficult to nurture and train a real martial artist.

Apart from consuming a large amount of high-quality food, practicing martial arts also required potions, medicinal pills, and other expensive things.

A bottle of potion with only three drops cost tens of thousands of taels of silver, let alone other items.

The Second Young Master, Qin Chuan, was given priority for all resources in the Qin residence.

Moreover, it was said that the Qin residence had begun to decline. No one knew how much money they currently had.

As an outsider who had married into the family, Luo Qingzhou naturally had to know his limits and understand the rules.

He thought for a moment and decided to go to the nearby forest that he went to when he visited his mother’s grave.

According to the maidservants, there was an important guest from the Capital in the Qin residence who often went out of the city to hunt in the forest.

This meant that there should be a lot of prey there.

Luo Qingzhou felt that at most, he would hunt before coming back to cook. He would eat more comfortably.

The energy in the flesh of wild prey was much better than the energy quality of the meat he was currently eating.

It would be even better if he could fight some low-level demon beasts.

The fur of demon beasts could be sold for money. Not only could their flesh and blood be sold for money, but they could also be eaten. Their bodies were filled with treasures.

With his current strength and weapons, it should not be a problem for him to deal with some low-level demon beasts.

With this thought in mind, he quickly finished his meal.

After Xiao Die finished eating, she tidied up everything and brought the

utensils back to the kitchen.

After dark.

The master and servant took a fresh set of clothes and went to the lake to take a bath.

Ever since Xiao Die went there for the first time, she had fallen in love with it and would no longer be shy and refused to go.

After all, bathing in the lake was much more comfortable than bathing in a wooden bucket.

In the night sky, the moon was bright and the stars were twinkling.

In the quiet lake, the fog was dense and hazy, like a paradise.

The master and servant bathed two meters apart.

At first, Xiao Die was still very shy, but she slowly became bolder. She mustered her courage and took the initiative to walk over. She rubbed Luo Qingzhou’s back and spoke softly with a red face.

She mostly told him about what she had learned that day and the gossip she had heard from the other maidservants.

Occasionally, Luo Qingzhou would reply with a sentence or two. He listened to her patiently.

Although she had only not seen him for one day, Xiao Die still had endless things to talk to him about.

The night was quiet, and the lake was warm.

The master and servant faced each other naked. They spoke softly and tenderly.

Such a life was very blissful for the master and servant who had just escaped from the wolf’s den.

After taking a shower, they returned to the small courtyard.

Luo Qingzhou went to his room to change his clothes before leaving.

According to the rules, he had to pay his respects to the First Young Miss every night, even though it seemed unnecessary.

Xiao Die stayed in the room and carefully embroidered lotus flowers in the dim light the oil lamp provided.

Luo Qingzhou was thinking about something and quickly arrived at the First Young Miss’ courtyard.

The courtyard door opened.

The courtyard was very quiet. Bai Ling and Xia Chan were not around.

Only the figure in white sat quietly in the courtyard. Under the moonlight, she looked absent-minded and lost in thought. No one knew what she was thinking.

Luo Qingzhou stood at the door for a moment before studying other areas.

The two girls were indeed not around.

After a moment’s hesitation, he walked in.

Looking at the absent-minded expression on her beautiful face, his heart skipped a beat. He thought that tonight might be an opportunity.

Bai Ling was not around.

The most terrifying Xia Chan was not here either.

He should be able to say some things to Qin Jianjia..
